The casting couch works more than one way. This B- list television and movie actor is about to move up to B+ list or higher in the next few weeks with something that is going to be huge. His big breaks have come because even though he is straight, he is perfectly willing to sleep with another guy if it will advance his career. His biggest roles have come when he has had sex with the male producers casting for the roles.

I think it's someone that is about to be announced in a big role. Like maybe they are about to announce who will be in 50 Shades in a few weeks. Or maybe someone who will be cast in a new superhero movie. Not necessarily something that already happened. Just my guess.

Okay, I seem to remember a couple of blinds that were suspected to be about Channing Tatum, or Zack Efron where it was said that a straight up and comer hotty had been ok with batting for the other team to get his start.

I agree with Jane, I don't think it has been announced yet. I'm going to guess and its just a guess, Ed Westwick. I always wondered how he got his role in J Edgar. He's got the lead in Romeo and Juliet alongside Damien Lewis and Paul Giamati. Maybe he's gonna be the lead in 50 Shades too. You go, Chuck Bass! Work that money maker girl!

I agree with jane3113...this is someone who is going to have a big role announced soon. I think Channing Tatum is more famous for movies and there is no way he is considered B- right now.Nicholas Hoult is getting a lot of attention for Warm Bodies and breaking up with Jennifer Lawerence, not sure if this is him...hasn't he been acting since he was a child?I really could see Ian Somerhalder doing anything it takes to get a big role. I remember when he was practically campaigning for Christian Grey. I'll put my guess as him but I'll be curious to see who gets a big break announced soon.

My first thought was Ian somerhalder for the 50 shades of grey movie. Ed westwick is a good guess, but I actually think he's one of the more talented people to come from gossip girl, so he might have got those roles on his own merit.

@Mango: yep, Urban Dictionary tells me you are correct. "Old twink" should be stricken and "sad old queen" replace it.

I would much rather the experience be with a virile closeted fellow that hates attractive men for making him gay, so he takes it out on them through vicious and violent sex. In short, more Dahmer than Takei. Not that George is in any way sad, just that he is a kind soul.

Ooh, @jane, good guess about the 50 Shades of Grey casting. Ian S has been all over the 'nets as fan choice. If you've read the tripe that is that book, check out "50 Shades of Chicken" on Amazon.com - omg, hilarious. I'm buying it for myself so I can have a least one belly laugh and chicken dish a week.

I don't think Alex Skaars (he of the most excellent body) - it's not exactly a secret that he bats for both teams.

this makes me want to barf. i could never have sex that i was not okay with for a job like this. if i was starving, or my kid needed operation; maybe. but literally take it up the ass for fame? gross. and gross for THAT being the way it is. what a world.

The producers iof 50 shades are michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti. Both have kids and are married/longterm girlfriend. Now I realize that means nothing anymore. Dana has always had the gay rumors follow him because he started out as Kevin Spacey assistant. Now big time producer and president of TriggerStreet productions.

Me brings up an interesting point. You think the casting couch = ass whether it is an actor or actress taking the easy way to fame? I mean if I was the sleaze ball producer/director and I had a hot actress over a barrel, actually in this case over the arm of the couch, might as well push it and see what she'll put up with.

I tell you what would be a fun exercise for a slime ball producer: get the 2 actors/actresses that are the 2 finalists for a role in the same room and have them bid each other down the ladder of morals to get the part.

Also, these gay casting couch tales makes me wonder what was behind some actors passing on famous roles and others getting them? "Scheduling problems" may not refer to other projects going on, it may mean that the actor couldn't make it to Malibu for a candle lit audition.

prolixe, my side is killing me from laughing !!! I put it on my girl's book club (meaning girls who get together once a month and pretend it's a book club but we just really, drink). What a hilarious idea, and making some money!!

He's in the 5th "Die Hard" installment, which opens in a few weeks. He plays Bruce Willis's son, and it was a very coveted role. He kinda' came out of nowhere to get the role. He's pretty unknown at this point. His "big" tv role was in "Spartacus: Vengeance."

Agent, I know! I wish I'd thought of it! I was reading the recipe on the Amazon page ("Dripping Thighs") out loud to Mr last night and we were both crying. I want to give all of my dishes super-slutty ambiguous names and put them on my FB page. Freak the in-laws right out! :D

@ me........at any given time, only 10% of SAG members [Screen Actors Guild] are employed and the average yearly salary of a SAG member was around $10K in 2000......that includes the Leos and Coopers who make millions per film. And to get into SAG you had to have had a speaking part in a film, on episodic teevee or a commercial. Do you any idea how hard it is to get a speaking part? And SAG doesn't even include all the other thousands of wannebees who come out to Hollywood each year hoping to break in.

Bottom line: if you are good looking but with average or slightly above average talent, you pray for the casting couch.......as gross as that sounds.

On the note of only 10% of SAG are employed, you guys should check out that Sandy Hook conspiracy video. They founds some SAG members on the news giving the auditions of their lifetime. And yes, that is exactly what I am saying.

JSierra, I'm with you. It's "what if Redbook wrote BDSM?" But for what it's worth, as unbearbly awful as her writing is, I can't be mad at EL James. She seemed as shocked as anyone when it hit so big. As long as she has a realistic opinion of her own writing and doesn't try to pass herself off as some sort of genre/writing authority, I don't begrudge her her success. Stephanie Meyer, on the other hand ....

Ohh you should read some E.L. interviews. She is a horrid, horrid person.

This blog was written by another dirty romance author Jennifer Armintrout (now Jennifer Trout)and she does chapter by chapter recaps so thank god, we don't have to. She includes a ton of excerpts from the book and gives a really refreshing, eye opening take on the series. She also posts a lot of links and quotes from articles about all of the shitty things E.L does. It is a really great blog to read, not to mention Jen includes full chapters from her own dirty books, and they make "50 Shades" look like Sesame Street.

This awfully looks like Alexander Skarsgard. I hope it's not him, I just don't imagine him being the type to have sex for a part.

I think the answer to this blind is whoever person is gonna star in 50SoG; since that movie has been buzzing like crazy and it has TONS of speculation on the lead actor role and who is gonna do it/fits the part. Askars is the most popular guess as far as I've seen.

@Me: Everyone is a whore. We are all willing to do demeaning things for money (or other, more abstract considerations like fame or power).

We may have different thresholds of degradation, and one person's anal sex is another person's collecting medical waste or being a cog in a ruthlessly evil corporate machine, but we all have a price. You can't handle bottoming for a job, but that slutty actor might think what you do crosses a line.
